In the process of straightening up our storeroom at the local Dixie league fields I found an McGregor Chest protector we had that no one remember us ever buying. Cleaned it up, and its in good shape, harnass and pad are all solid, has extended arms and hard shoulder caps.
Question I have is about re-attaching the shoulders to the main chest pad. They were tied on with what looked to be shoelaces when I found it. Is there a particular type of cording or lacing that is used on this kind of protector to attach the shoulders back on, or would any heavy cord or lacing material, maybe parachute cord do the job? Also, anyone ever seen a single bar face mask break or deform from a shot to the mask? Saw it this year. Not my mask thank God.

I think parachute cord would work quite nicely. Also some good leather cord would work as well.

I've used wire ties in similar situations with good luck.

Thought about wire ties, only problem would be adjusting it after tieing them on.
Probably go get some heavy leather lacing or parachute cord, something that'll hold up and still look descent.
